Temperature Tamer™: Gently Supportive Of The Fever Response
To understand what makes Temperature Tamer™ so great, it’s important to first consider the purpose of a fever in the body. Fevers are a natural immune response, signaling that the body is working to fight off an illness or infection.
Many parents understandably feel the urge to use medication to reduce a fever; however, in most cases, fevers don’t need to be suppressed unless they are causing significant discomfort or reaching concerning levels. That doesn’t mean we can’t offer the body a little support, which is where Temperature Tamer™ comes in!
Temperature Tamer™ is a remedy designed to provide comfort during times of mild illness or discomfort without artificially lowering a fever. It gently supports the immune system, encourages relaxation, and provides a gentle cooling sensation, helping your child feel at ease while their body works to heal. ✝︎
One of its key ingredients, elderflower, is known for its mild diaphoretic properties, meaning it can encourage gentle sweating to support the body’s natural temperature regulation. Combined with other soothing, cooling herbs like catnip and lemon balm, Temperature Tamer™ is a medicine cabinet staple. ✝︎
Key Ingredients:
- Organic Lemon Balm Aerial Parts
Organic Catnip Herb
Organic Elderflower
Organic Chamomile flower
Best For:
- Supporting comfort during a mild fever without interfering with the body’s natural response. ✝︎
Encouraging restful sleep when illness disrupts normal routines. ✝︎

Combining Herbal Remedies for Kids
While Temperature Tamer™ and Nature Profen™ Kids are designed to address different needs, they can work harmoniously in situations where your child is experiencing overlapping symptoms. For example, a child with a low-grade fever paired with discomfort from throat irritation can benefit from the combined support of these remedies. ✝︎
How to safely and effectively combine these herbal remedies:
All of our herbal remedies are safe to use together at their full recommended strengths as indicated on their labels for up to one week at a time.
If your child requires extended support for overlapping symptoms, it’s important to stay within their combined maximum dose. This may involve adjusting each remedy proportionally to adhere to a combined maximum dose. Meaning:
If two remedies both recommend 5–10 drops twice daily, your child’s total dose across both products should not exceed 10 drops twice daily. Adjust the dosages of each remedy so their combined dose stays within this limit by reducing the daily dose of supplement 1 slightly to make room for a slightly reduced daily dose of supplement 2.
Please note that generally speaking, a fever lasting more than 4-5 days or bothersome physical discomfort lasting beyond a week in a child is reason enough to seek medical guidance. Please consult your child’s doctor for guidance if symptoms persist beyond a week.
